The nicest characteristic of the city is the wonderful Alborz mountain range on the northern part which is usually covered with snow from November to May.
Great part of the city has a rather modern and industrialised look and feel. There are only a few monuments as Grand Bazaar and Golestan Palace which remind of the classical architecture of the city. In the northern part of the town you find the residential district with bigger houses, villas and gardens.
You reach towns with clear and fresh air located in the mountains as Lavasan and Fasham with less than an hour drive. In winter at only two hours from the capital you can enjoy skiing in Shemshak, Dizin and Darbandsar, there are nice pistes, hotels and other accommodations to enjoy.
